Abstract

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are prevalent neurodevelopmental problems for many people, and usually followed them from childhood to adulthood. While many approaches, such as pharmacological, like stimulants; behavioral, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy; physical interventions, like DCS; are available, their comparative efficacy and underlying neural mechanisms are not clear at all. This review will analyzes current evidence of those treatments and summarizes their neuropsychological basis. By providing a comprehensive overview of existing treatment options, this review aims to help clinical decision-making for medical care workers and guide and search the possibility of related future research for more individualized interventions for adults with ADHD or ASD.
